Too much demo??!!

Day one of the pool renno. New coping, tile and plaster.

The demo guys are taking out the old coping with a jackhammer. I’m seeing that in some places the demo is going below the level of the coping stones - as much as an inch below what used to be the tile line. Not seeing this around the entire perimeter but a fair amount. Someone tell me this is a perfectly normal part of pool demolition.

Could you post up some pictures of the current amount of demo?

Clearly now they are demoing that deep on purpose. I had anticipated the demo would take off the coping stones and the tiles only. I had thought the cement behind the tiles would be left intact. I was probably wrong to think that

Yeah, if you’re getting new tile, they are not too worried about damaging the current ones. I’ll ping one of our construction gurus to have a look. @bdavis466

That's probably how much mortar was originally used. That's a good thing they are removing it
